A Legacy of Caring
A MISSION OF CHANGE
The mission of The Healthcare Foundation
of New Jersey is to improve the health
and well-being of vulnerable, underserved
populations in greater Newark and the
Jewish community of MetroWest NJ,
elevate the quality of community
healthcare, reduce disparities in access,
and promote the infusion of compassion
and humanism into our healthcare system.
The Foundation seeks to seed new
initiatives, expand existing healthcare
programs, support appropriate clinical
and medical research, and promote
medical literacy to positively impact its
targeted communities.
Since it was established in 1996, when Newark Beth Israel
Medical Center was sold to Barnabas Health (formerly
the Saint Barnabas Healthcare System), The Healthcare
Foundation of New Jersey has been dedicated to
continuing the hospital’s health and caring mission
through philanthropy. Guided by the vision of Lester Z.
Lieberman, chairman of “The Beth” from 1988 to 1996
– and by a deep respect for the values and traditions
of the Jewish people and their principles of tzedakah
(charity and righteousness) and tikkun olam (repairing
the world) – the Foundation seeks to eliminate inequities
In pursuance of these
goals, more than
$117,000,000 has
been awarded by the
Foundation since its
inception 19 years ago.
in healthcare and engage in partnerships that foster
healthy, caring communities.
ANNUAL REPORT 2014
HFNJ Joining Forces
There are so many ways to express it – two heads are better than one…no one can go it alone…it takes a
village – to name just a few. But however you put it, the truth is that joining forces with others who share like
values and goals heightens the potential impact of whatever we do.
Joining forces is, of course, not a novel idea. Human beings, and indeed many if not most animals, forge alliances
to create communities, help those in need, and care for children. We develop study groups to prepare for tests in
school and think tanks to identify and solve problems. The examples are far too numerous to mention.
We at The Healthcare Foundation of New Jersey join forces to increase our impact every day: trustees and
staff work together with local organizations to improve the health and well-being of the most vulnerable and
underserved people in our community. We know that neither our funding nor their expertise alone is sufficient, but
together we can increase our effectiveness and create positive change.
This year The Healthcare Foundation joined with 30 other funders across the United States to sign the Philanthropy
Joining Forces Impact Pledge. Spearheaded by First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden, this pledge aims to raise at
least $200 million in grants over the next five years to improve the health and well-being of veterans and military families. You can read more about the part that we are playing in this important and exciting initiative in this Annual Report.
Two important Foundation initiatives continued in 2014. The HFNJ Hospital-Acquired Delirium Prevention and
Treatment Initiative, now in its fourth year, is active in seven area hospitals and has been responsible for improving
the culture of hospital care for the elderly and those in the ICU. The HFNJ ACA (Affordable Care Act) Education,
Outreach, and Enrollment Initiative has been instrumental in connecting uninsured people to the coverage they so
badly need. Both are chronicled on the pages of this report.
As always, we have been busy joining forces with our many community partners to accomplish our mission. In total,
we awarded $7.4 million in grants in 2014 that will improve the lives of thousands.
We at The Healthcare Foundation look forward to a busy and successful 2015, grateful for the opportunity to work
with each other and with our partners to accomplish our mutual goals.

Joining Forces to Promote Humanism in Healthcare
The Healthcare Foundation of New Jersey and
Newark Beth Israel Medical Center Partner
to Create The Lester Z. Lieberman Fellowship
in Oncology and Hematology
In November 2013 – slightly more than one year ago – the board and staff of The
Healthcare Foundation of New Jersey were saddened to learn of the passing of
Lester Z. Lieberman, our Founding Chairman, now Chairman Emeritus. To mark Les
Lieberman’s passing, all capital grants awarded by the Foundation during 2014 were
made in his memory. In addition, a special grant in the amount of $1 million was
made to Newark Beth Israel Medical Center to establish The Lester Z. Lieberman
Fellowship in Oncology and Hematology at its Frederick B. Cohen Cancer Center.
Throughout his lifetime, Les Lieberman worked tirelessly to support medical
programs that made care more humane and physicians more compassionate.
This new Fellowship will honor that legacy by adding an additional Hematology/
Oncology Fellow to those at the Frederick B. Cohen Cancer Center incorporating
an added research focus on humanism in medicine and palliative care into the
existing rigorous training that must be undertaken as part of existing programs.
The Lester Z. Lieberman Fellowship Program will honor Les’ vision that healthcare
encompass the principles of compassion, empathy, respect, and cultural sensitivity.
Each of six consecutive Lieberman Fellows will be hired for three years, commencing
on July 1, 2015. The humanism focus of this program will serve as a model for the
development of a national curriculum in the field.

Joining Forces to Strengthen Families…
• Regular primary care
• Nutritious food
• Access to decent housing
• Safe and accessible public
parks and outdoor spaces
Essential ingredients for
leading healthy lives.
In order to strengthen families and their ability to achieve more healthful lifestyles, the
Foundation awarded grants to the following partners this year:
Newark NOW and Newark Emergency Services for Families – Family Success Center at Newark Beth Israel Medical
Center – Newark Emergency Services for Families took over management of the Family Success Center at The Beth
midyear and received a grant in its own right to continue this work through 2015. The Center provides health education,
connection to screenings, healthcare navigation, benefits enrollment assistance, and special help to pregnant
women and new mothers to increase their parenting skills and support their ability to properly care for their
newborns. (Total granted: $226,000)
Family Intervention Services – Promoting Success – FIS was founded in 1981 to strengthen families and thereby
prevent domestic violence and child abuse and neglect. Services address the physical and emotional needs of
clients, including assistance with food stamps, housing, job skills/readiness, insurance enrollment, and counseling
for mental health issues. In light of recent budget cuts by the state that took back $4 million in funding to support
counseling for children in placement in Essex County, the Foundation made this grant to enable FIS to hire a parttime psychiatric APN and consulting psychiatrist and to expand hours for staff clinicians to provide the type of
counseling needed by these fragile children and their families. ($95,000)
5
ANNUAL REPORT 2014
...and to Improve the Lives of the Elderly
Daughters of Israel – Hirsch Pavilion Renovation – Funding to renovate the Hirsch Pavilion, whose frail residents are
cognitively aware to varying degrees but all in need of long-term care. Included will be an open nursing area for better
interaction between staff and residents; a reconfigured consultation area; a refurbished, restaurant-style dining area;
and a wheelchair-accessible restroom just off the main space. ($250,000)
Jewish Family Service of Central New Jersey – Alzheimer’s Caregivers Project – One year ago, JFS Central and JFS
MetroWest joined forces to address the need in the region for specialized support for caregivers of individuals
living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. This second year of HFNJ support enables the agencies
to continue to address the overwhelming burden felt by spouses and/or adult children when caring for a loved one
during their inevitable decline. ($133,184)
Additional Partnerships for Families and the Elderly
Clara Maass MC Foundation: $165,000 to purchase and outfit a wellness assessment van, bringing screenings
and care to the homebound elderly.
New Community Corporation: $120,527 to establish a medical office/visiting physician program in its Commons
Senior Residence.
Clara Maass MC Foundation: $101,083 to provide a second year of support for its Hospital-Acquired Delirium
Prevention and Treatment Initiative.
Community Food Bank of NJ: $63,000 to continue support for the Pediatric Food Pantry at Newark Beth Israel MC.
Jewish Family Service of MetroWest NJ: $60,000 to enable JFS to continue to provide at-home case management
and support services to frail seniors who are survivors of the Holocaust.

Philanthropy Joining Forces Impact Pledge
The HFNJ Veterans
Mental Health Initiative
On December 8,
the board approved
grants totaling
$736,126 to nine
service providers.
A majority of veterans successfully reintegrate into civilian life. Some, however,
face significant mental health problems related to their service, family stress
caused by multiple deployments, and financial and employment-related
challenges upon return. The Healthcare Foundation of New Jersey has
supported veterans programming since 2002 as a responsive grantmaker,
funding projects from yoga instruction to culturally competent case management for veterans who were formerly homeless.
In 2013, HFNJ started to conduct research on how it could be more strategic in
this work. The Foundation sought input from a wide range of community service
providers, mental health professionals, public sector employees, and veterans themselves to gain insight into what today’s veterans in greater Essex County look like,
and to learn about their needs. That exploration serendipitously coincided with
the launch of the Philanthropy Joining Forces Impact Pledge, and HFNJ committed
to making a new, strategic Veteran’s Mental Health Initiative a Foundation priority.
After signing the Pledge in April 2014, HFNJ hosted a Veterans Services Roundtable with veterans’ service organizations, mental health and housing agencies,
the local VA, and members of the Foundation board of trustees. A committee of
trustees and staff was established and a request for proposals issued, with funding
decisions for the first cohort of grantees made in December.
On December 8, the board approved grants totaling $736,126
to the following service providers:
Volunteer Lawyers for Justice – Discharge Upgrades – to educate and train 50 or
more attorneys to provide pro bono assistance in seeking discharge upgrades for
people who served in the military but were discharged less than honorably because
of undiagnosed mental health issues resulting from their service. ($100,000)
7
ANNUAL REPORT 2014
Rutgers University Behavioral Health Center – Military Mom2Mom – to
create a reciprocal peer support telephone line for people struggling with
parenting issues as a result of their own military service or the service of
their spouses, or who are the caregivers of children whose parents are in
the military. ($95,000)
Rutgers Institute for the Study of Child Development – Project COMBAT
– to underwrite the creation of materials and the training of 70-100
teachers, mental health professionals, and family workers in Newark
preschools and Head Start centers to help the children of servicemen and
servicewomen develop resilience and communication skills. ($99,246)
Trinitas Health Foundation – Project PRIDE for Veterans – to develop a
cooperative working agreement with the VA’s Elizabeth Outpatient Clinic
to provide individual and group counseling for veterans diagnosed with
PTSD and other conflict-related mental illnesses. ($91,500)
Rutgers FOCUS Wellness Center – Veterans’ Interaction Project (VIP) – to hire a master’s-prepared bilingual social
worker with a military background to serve as a navigator to connect local veterans to much-needed mental health
services, including substance abuse counseling, anger management, cognitive behavioral therapy, psychotherapy,
stress management, and supportive counseling. ($80,000)
Main Street Counseling Center – Veterans’ Counseling Initiative – to significantly expand the agency’s therapeutic
services for veterans, military-connected persons, and their families. Flexible hours, bilingual services, and a
handicapped-accessible building will facilitate clients’ participation, which will be achieved through the work of a newly
hired Coordinator – a licensed mental health professional who will conduct outreach throughout the community
and provide counseling services to clients. ($79,000)
Cornerstone Family Programs – Our Sisterhood of Soldiers: Reconnecting with Our Female Vets – to provide a
complement of social, supportive, and therapeutic programs for female veterans who come home with PTSD, major
depression, and related conditions like substance abuse and poverty, many of whom suffered sexual trauma during
their service. ($75,000)
Community Hope – Veterans’ Peer-Led Support Services – to purchase a handicapped-accessible van for dedicated
use by the agency’s most disabled residents to connect them with counseling and other needed health services and
to hire a peer counselor to work with the most at-risk veterans to ensure that they access appropriate, timely care.
($73,380)
Corporation for Supportive Housing – Veterans Supportive Housing Academy – to organize and conduct a Training
Academy to increase the military cultural competence of local providers, improving their ability to properly engage
and serve veterans. The curriculum will be designed to help providers develop a better understanding of the myriad
barriers to mental health and substance abuse treatment, stable housing, employment, and other components of
successful reintegration faced by veterans. ($43,000)

Facilitating access to healthcare for the most underserved, vulnerable people in greater
Newark is a cornerstone of HFNJ’s mission, and moving people from the rolls of the
uninsured to that of the insured is a crucial first step to accessing that care.
When the Affordable Care Act was passed and the ramp-up to enrollment began last year, the Foundation decided
that convening key community leaders and partnering with community organizations with support for public
education, outreach, and enrollment activities were the most effective ways in which we could help. The Healthcare
Foundation of New Jersey ACA Outreach, Education, and Enrollment Initiative was launched in the fall of 2013,
and continued throughout 2014. A learning session for the Foundation’s ACA grantees and key CMS personnel
was held in January, and the Foundation has continued our work to both support enrollment and strengthen primary
care for our target populations. In 2014, we forged or continued the following partnerships to do just that.
Connection to Coverage:
Planned Parenthood of Central & Greater Northern NJ – to provide two full-time bilingual counselors to conduct
on-site Medicaid education, eligibility screening, and enrollment at its Elizabeth and Morristown centers. ($117,620)
NJ Citizen Action Education Fund – to support three bilingual enrollment assisters able to counsel and assist
consumers in completing applications for Medicaid and Marketplace insurance, and a part-time professional to
focus on outreach at neighborhood stores and other local venues and events where target groups gather or work.
($100,000)
Connection to Care:
Newark Beth Israel MC Foundation – to establish The Healthcare Foundation of New Jersey Breast Wellness
Center, a state-of-the-art, patient-centered facility to increase access to screenings and care planning in a comfortable,
private, patient-centered environment for the rapidly growing number of patients who seek services at The Beth.
($1,302,000)
Rutgers University Foundation – to continue RU School of Nursing’s Community Health Worker Project, an initiative
that trains and employs residents from three medically and physically isolated public housing developments to
connect their friends and neighbors to care, conduct healthcare events and wellness programs, provide one-on-one
assistance, and act as liaisons to the school’s nurse-managed health centers and mobile van. ($168,359)
Zufall Health Centers – to cover the costs of a computer system for Zufall’s new FQHC in West Orange, NJ, linking
it to Zufall’s existing electronic health records system, and to fund dental equipment that creates an interface
between patient X-rays and the electronic health records. ($47,984)
La Casa de Don Pedro – for continued support for the agency’s bilingual Healthy Living Initiative: health education
workshops, primary and preventive care, screenings, access to specialty care, and case management for individuals
with complex needs. ($40,000)
United Way of Essex & West Hudson – for continued support for a community health worker position dedicated
to coordinating health education workshops, ACA and Medicaid insurance counseling, health screenings, an annual
health fair, distribution of drug discount cards, and the development of literacy-appropriate materials. ($30,900)

Joining Forces to Help
Children Grow Strong and
Healthy and Overcome Trauma
Helping children develop into strong, healthy adults has been a focus
of The Healthcare Foundation from our earliest days. We understand
the importance of access both to proper health and dental care, and
to supportive services that address behavioral health for children
and their parents. Our increasing awareness of the significant trauma
suffered by many children in greater Newark as a result of their exposure
to violence in their neighborhoods and within their families led to the
following grants in 2014:
FAMILYConnections – Foster Healing – This project will pilot a package
of interventions to address the psychological, behavioral, and emotional
needs of children in the foster care system. Interventions will focus on
the root cause of problems: the trauma that children in foster care have
experienced throughout their lifetimes. FC will work with DCP&P staff
to help them better understand the children served and enhance their
professional skills to work with children and their parents who have
experienced trauma. ($100,649)
Youth Development Clinic – Pulling Together: Newark South Ward SchoolBased Student Partnership – This grant will embed two full-time child
psychologists on-site in each of two of Newark’s most challenged schools
– BRICK Avon and BRICK Peshine – to address the overwhelming needs of
children struggling with severe behavioral problems and underlying social,
emotional, and developmental issues. Clinicians will provide culturally and
linguistically competent interventions and strategies at a classroom and
individual level, with classroom observation, teacher consultation, learning
and mental health assessments, and counseling and collaboration for parents
or caregivers and other school staff. ($100,000)
Main Street Counseling Center – School-Based Counseling at Barringer
High Schools – The two colocated Barringer High Schools have experienced
a great deal of flux and a high degree of student aggressive and violent
behavior. This project aims to substantially reduce violent behaviors
through therapeutic interventions, including both individual and group
counseling in English and Spanish geared toward self-empowerment,
anger management, and a reduction in violent tendencies. ($80,000)
11
Additional Partnerships
for Work with Children:
Jewish Renaissance Medical Center:
$123,384 to establish a key new
position of Outreach and Partnership
Coordinator and to expand and
upgrade the center at Quitman
School, which provides a full range
of services including primary, dental,
and mental healthcare.
Gottesman RTW Academy of
Morris County: $88,338 for
the construction of a new nurse’s
office with accommodations
for counseling services.
Greater Newark Conservancy:
$64,571 for its Nutrition Education
Program for Newark students.
Ironbound Community Corporation:
$60,000 for an Early Childhood
Mental Health Program in its
Early Head Start program.

$50,000 for the second year
of a pilot program to address
child-on-child sexual abuse.
Boys & Girls Club of Newark:
$36,538 to establish a Family
Resource Center.

$35,000 to bring oral healthcare
and education to young children
in greater Newark schools.
Essex County CASA: $33,995
to work with professionals and
volunteers who act as advocates
for children in foster care and who
experience vicarious trauma as
a result of their involvement.
Joining Forces to Care for People
with Special Needs
People with special needs are often ignored by society – either segregated in small groups that do not help
them reach their potential or set adrift in larger seas without the necessary supports to help them succeed.
There are wonderful agencies in the greater Newark and MetroWest Jewish communities, however, that work
hard on behalf of individuals with special needs to help them – and us – understand their abilities rather
than their disabilities and reach their full potential. To foster that work, HFNJ joined forces with 15 partners
in 2014. What follows is just a sampling of those grants:
Cerebral Palsy of New Jersey – Horizon Family Wellness Center – to provide integrated assessment, treatment, and
wellness services to children and young adults dually diagnosed with physical and/or developmental disabilities and
emotional, behavioral, or psychiatric problems. ($174,500)
Jewish Services for the Developmentally Disabled, JESPY House, and The Arc of Essex County – Electronic
Billing Systems – to enable all three agencies to adopt and implement electronic billing systems newly required
by the NJ Department of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) in conjunction with the Department’s new method of
funding services for clients. (Total in 2014: $346,850)
Jewish Family Service of MetroWest – Support Coordination for Individuals with Developmental Disabilities and Their
Families – to enable JFS to initiate work with families of developmentally disabled children and adults to coordinate
their choice of services and service providers that meet their behavioral, independence, and vocational needs in
accordance with the DDD’s new method of funding services for clients as noted above. ($44,616)
Rutgers University Foundation – Rutgers HEAL – a medical-legal partnership that works to improve the health and
well-being of children who are patients of the pediatric specialty clinic at University Hospital/NJ Medical School by
intervening to ensure that they obtain needed educational and other services to which they are entitled. ($128,165)
Caldwell University – Counseling Center Direct Service Enhancements – to enable the university to hire a part-time
psychiatric APN and consulting psychiatrist, and increase LCSW hours to meet the increasingly serious mental
health needs of students on campus. ($55,300)
Kessler Foundation – Prism Therapy for Hidden Disabilities After Stroke – a second year of funding enabling
Kessler to create a partnership with Newark Beth Israel MC to improve the quality of stroke care by establishing a new
clinical protocol for patients who have suffered functional vision loss as a result of their strokes. ($50,000)
12
Grant Guidelines
To be considered for support, a proposal must be health-related and address one of The Foundation’s priorities:
the vulnerable population of greater Newark, the vulnerable members of the MetroWest Jewish community, medical
education, and/or clinical research that affects the Foundation’s targeted communities.
All applications are screened, researched, and evaluated by HFNJ staff to determine eligibility, conformity to grant
guidelines, and relevance to the Foundation’s mission and current priorities. If there is sufficient interest in a
proposal, a telephone conference will be initiated by a Foundation program officer and a site visit may be arranged.
The Foundation’s Board of Trustees makes the final decisions on funding requests.
All proposals must be submitted online through the following link:
https://www.grantrequest.com/SID_1565/?SA=SNA&FID=35004
Proposals are approved quarterly in March, June, September, and December. For application deadlines, detailed
guidelines, and further instructions, please log on to our website, www.hfnj.org.
